So, you want to get a new iPhone? Check out our tips for
preparing and upgrading to the next new thing! Listen to
considerations, trade-offs, and thoughts on the future of the
iPhone user experience as Dave and Melissa discuss the September 12
“Apple Event." Full show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com

We discuss factors you should consider when purchasing a new
iPhone: size of the hardware, what kinds of cases will fit, storage
capacity, timing, cost, and protection.

Refurb Tracker is a
good resource for tracking when refurbished iPhones & iPads
(and other Apple gear) go on sale

B&H Photo is a good place to order online because they do
not charge sales tax or shipping

Apple provides for an Education Discount, but your
school must be participating in the program.

Be sure to consider protecting your investment by reviewing
warranty and insurance plans. Look at your carrier’s offering and
compare the features and cost to AppleCare or SquareTrade. Some carrier plans
cover theft while others only cover specific types of damage.

Is it a trade-off or a true disadvantage?

Face ID vs Touch ID — you can unlock your iPhone more
discreetly with Touch ID vs Face ID. How often is this a need to
the point where it becomes a disadvantage for you?

Wireless Charging with Qi — how often do you find yourself
using your iPhone while it’s plugged in and charging?
